Katherine O’Brien – 40 under 40 2021
Grand goal in life: I have full intention to leave my children and this world with an empire that keeps creating and prospering to save lives. My daily mission is to ensure animals are healthy and safe while educating owners to care for their pets just like family. Going beyond this for me is to have a clear path to help educate people so we are all more responsible and charitable in our lives in order to create a world and environment that is positive and productive.
